Clearing the encryption configuration

IMPORTANT: Clearing all encryption settings clears all secrets, keys, and passwords from the controller. HP Secure Encryption will be returned to a factory-new state.

To clear all encryption settings:

1.Clear the controller ("Clearing the controller" on page 50).

IMPORTANT: Clearing the controller is not necessary if there are no encrypted drives present or if HP Smart Storage Administrator is operating in an offline mode.

2.Log in to Encryption Manager ("Logging into Encryption Manager" on page 33).

3.Under Utilities, click Clear Encryption Configuration.

4.A prompt appears, indicating all encryption settings will be cleared from the controller. To continue, click Clear.
